Countdown is an Autobot Micromaster from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Hero of a thousand worlds, champion of the oppressed, and destroyer of thousands of Decepticons, but no . . . let's tell more stories about stupid Bumblebee. Not that he's bitter.

Countdown's mission is to roam the universe, find planets threatened by Decepticon activity, and meddle to the Autobots' benefit. He looks forward to the day when the Decepticons are defeated, and he can start toppling other tyrannical regimes.<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup>

He possesses an interstellar rocket and command base. The base is used to launch the rocket, but also fits inside the rocket.



Japanese name: Moonradar
